PROGRAM IS FREEWARE. < most know what this means <
--------------------------------------------------

This programs purpose if to play David Whittaker & Manics of Noise programs
via the CLI.  To find out how to use it type MP ?.

Since all most all DW modules are commercial game based, you will have to get
the game and rip it out yourself by playing the music (via playing the game)
reboot and use a sound ripper like EXOTICRIPPER.

Shadow Of The Beast :  rip music out via Exotic Ripper. (Rippred it out myself
at once point)

The MON modules come via with the Mysterious Worlds (C)playstone designs : 
game on the front of a disk based magazine called AMIGA FUN which didnt last
that long.  Also one ripped from a RAZOR 1911 demo (kewl 3 songs).

No songs in this archive due to Copyright Infringment via Aminet.
Also example run is exampled if you ripped BEAST Ingame music (first level).



Mp (MultiPlayer)
----------------
This is a program that once loaded module has loaded returns you to the CLI
and runs the module in the background.  USeful for startup sequence loading
music.


Loading a module.
-----------------
To load a Dw.Beast-I1 (Beast Ingame 1, 4 sub-songs) type:

4.t1:> MP -l dw.beast-i1
David Whittaker Module Detected ... Loaded Module.
4.t1:>

to start of playing from SUB-SONG x place a no from 0-9 after the module name
The music will then run independant via a CIAA timer.


To change sub-song:
-------------------
4.t1:> MP -s 2    - change to sub song 2.


To quit the song:
-----------------
4.t1:> mp -q

If you try to quit a song that isnt there a error message will be reported.
All commands are the same for MON music modules.

No advanced commands for volume, just load, chnage song, and quit.

To submiss all output text, error msgs, put + instead of - for command.
(not a good idea to use >NIL: - doesnt work).


Included.
---------
My first attempt (included MPO/MPO.s) used LVL3 Intterupt timing as used in
the shadow of the beast game.  But on WB1.2/Wb1.3 it messed up when clicking
and moving ICONS and on DISK ACCESS.

I then built MP via CIAA timing.  It works, but has been known sometime to
crash on WB1.2/WB1.3 machines rarely.

I am sorry for this, but I dont have a wb1.3 A500 to test/fix it on.
